Synopsis

Australian Flower Fairies Address Book

Generations of children have loved Cicely Mary Barker's English Flower Fairy Books - here now are their Australian cousins. Twenty-six exquisitely detailed illustrations by well-known artist Elizabeth Alger adorn this brightly coloured book, featuring the Lilly-Pilly Fairies, the Wattle Fairies, the Gum Tree Fairies and more. Each picture is accompanied by a verse, written by nature-inspired gardener, artist and poet Margaret Thornton. Her three daughters also contributed poems. The book contains pages for recording the contact details of friends and family. It is the companion volume to the Australian Flower Fairies Birthday Book, the Notebook and the Diary.
